The three facilities had no significant differences in the performance of computed tomography scans, bone scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Active surveillance was less performed in clinics and university hospitals, compared with community hospitals. Androgen deprivation therapy was significantly more common, but curative treatments, including radiation and prostatectomy, were less performed in clinics. Curative radiation was significantly more common, but androgen deprivation therapy was less performed in university hospitals.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
